Chapter 501 501. Watermelon and Peach
On the other hand, seeing Wu Lei regaining his strength and going upstairs, probably still wanting to contact Lili, Song Tan immediately took out his cell phone and called his aunt:
“Hey, aunt! My brother Wu Lei seems to have a conflict with Lili...”
"It's okay...my family, why are you talking about this..."
"...I just thought about it and was afraid that he would sneak away to see Lili with the money, so I thought of a way. I said that I would use his salary to buy 10 boxes of peaches, 8 boxes will be sent to you, and two boxes will be left for Lili... "
“…This means that I can still ask for Brother Wu Lei’s hard-earned money… I originally planned to give you and aunt two boxes…”
"...Yes, yes...don't let it slip...pretend that I gave it away and collected the money. In fact, the 2,500 yuan for the peach was transferred to my aunt for safekeeping..."
“...My own orchard...I won’t give away much...I’ll just take a few and eat them fresh...It’s free of charge..."
Zhang Yanping on the side looked at Song Tan warily. He didn't look at her until he hung up the phone: "Is it possible that I also have a salary of 5,000 yuan, and you gave half of it to my mother?"
Song Tan:…
She said sincerely: "Brother Yan Ping, you have to be more confident in your worth - 2,500 is the family price!"
…
8:00 pm.
Night finally enveloped the village deep in the mountains.
At this moment, Boss Qian looked at the table full of delicacies and the refrigerator with the door closed, and finally received a call from his good brother Boss Wang—
“I think the navigation will be there soon, 10 minutes at most!”
“Okay, okay!”
Boss Qian couldn’t wait to rush to the refrigerator in three or two steps, and then he took out the large watermelon weighing 20 kilograms and looked at everyone expectantly:
“He must be hungry since he came so late. Let’s cut the watermelon first!”
Everyone: ...Isn’t this peach delicious enough? Why am I still thinking about watermelon while eating peaches?
It’s outrageous.
However, having said that, the seventh cousin still took out his watermelon knife neatly, raised the knife with his hand, and cut it in half!
At this moment, the whole room suddenly made a slight clicking sound, and then the surrounding area became dark.
Everyone was stunned.
“The power is out!”
Qiaoqiao said loudly, and then asked frustratedly: "The tablet is out of power... So how can I watch TV tonight?"
Song Tan blinked in confusion.
Looking at Party Secretary Xiao Zhu on the side, she walked out of the yard and came back not long after:
“Everywhere in the village is dark. It’s probably because the wiring is broken somewhere. It’s summer after all.”
Song Tan belatedly realized that there would always be power outages in the village every three days during the peak electricity consumption period in summer.
Ah, it’s said that in the little half a year since she came home, the electricity has never been cut off once, so much so that she has forgotten about it!
But Qiaoqiao moved quickly: "I'll get the flashlight!"
Zhang Yanping looked at her phone thankfully: "Fortunately, it's fully charged."
Song Tan, whose mobile phone battery is only 20% left:…
Even though she has to practice at night and can't play for long, there are two different things between not being able to play when there is electricity and not being able to play when there is no electricity!
In the distance, the village gradually became lively again.
At eight o'clock it was just getting completely dark. At this time, many people who worked had just gone home to finish their meal.
Occasionally, you can hear the crackling sound of electric mosquito swatters. There is a waxing moon above our head, and the moonlight is hazy and weak, making the road reflect a faint white color. The mountains and fields on all sides were dark, and the hot summer wind was steaming, making even the mosquitoes around him scream noisily.
There is still a handful of mugwort burning beside the courtyard wall - because there are no mosquitoes in the house this year, everyone agrees that the mugwort is of high quality and effective, so they light a handful in the yard every evening until everyone is finished.
Song Tan is determined! “I will have to buy a home generator later.”
The roads are not good, and the circuits are not good either... Alas!
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, coughed dryly: "I'll call and ask how long it will take to repair it..."
At this moment, the sound of a car roaring suddenly came from the distance.
Not long after, the distant car lights gradually came closer, and finally slowly stopped in the open space in front of the door.
The middle-aged man inside hesitantly got out of the car, looking at the darkness in all directions, he even moved much slower.
“Is this... a power outage?”
He was not unfamiliar with this situation.
Qiao Qiao glanced at the stranger who had come from afar, and then looked at Song Tan expectantly: "Sister, can I catch fireflies?"
In recent years, there have been fewer fireflies in the village. But this year, in the front and back of their house, dots of fireflies became lively again, and Qiao Qiao had been eager for it for a long time.
But usually he works during the day, has to do homework at night, and watches TV, so he really doesn’t have time. When I saw the power outage today, I couldn't hold myself back.
Song Tan laughed: "Okay, let's go. Be careful not to catch poisonous insects."
There are some fireflies flying in the air, and some lying on the leaves.
Those that can fly are quite small, but those that lie down are very nerve-wracking, and only children will not be afraid of them.
An adult like Song Tan, who has already seen the true form of fireflies, is really insensitive and has goosebumps.
At this moment, Boss Qian finally came out of the house in a hurry. When he saw the person coming, he complained: "Old Wang! I told you to come quickly. Look, you are delaying until now!"
“Are you okay? Is there a power outage?”
"It sounds like...it's like I caused the power outage." The boss opposite was not happy either: "No matter how good Taozi is, what can you tell in the middle of the night? I originally planned to come tomorrow..."
Coming tomorrow? Then can he still eat this watermelon?
Boss Qian was anxious and patted him on the shoulder quickly: "Come on, come on, eat watermelon. You must be hot and thirsty all the way here, right?"
Lao Wang: ...actually not really.
There is air conditioning in the car, and he also brought tea. Except for the bumpy road and making it difficult to walk, everything else was fine.
But before he could say anything, a piece of ice-cold watermelon was stuffed into his hand. The fresh aroma of watermelon hit his face, making his whole body feel as if he was immersed in the cool well water, and there was a smell in the seams of his bones. Sighs and groans.
The next moment, his body was faster than his mind, and he opened his mouth and bit off the tip of the watermelon without hesitation!
This, what does this feel like? !
Before he could recover from his shock, he saw that Boss Qian beside him was already very upset: "Uh-huh, why is it so delicious! Why is it so delicious! This is completely different from Tao!"
“Sister, can I pack the watermelon?! Tell me what the price is!”
Good guy!
While Lao Wang was eating watermelon, he saw that Boss Qian had lost the initiative as a wholesaler.
Although it’s late, you’re here!
This is the update from last month! I finally finished it, and I will write monthly tickets and additional updates for the alliance leader in April.
Good night!
Last of all, there is only time left in March, don’t forget to vote if you have more monthly tickets!
grateful! See you next month!
